Running Tailscale on a Synology Router (SRM)

By h

(1) Enable the SSH service on the router

(2) SSH into the router: ssh -p 2022 router-username@<ip> (router-username is the username you use to log into the web UI)

(3) Download the Tailscale aarch64 package from their website

# cd /var/services/tmp
# wget 'https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/tailscale_1.58.2_arm64.tgz'
# tar xzvf tailscale_1.58.2_arm64.tgz 

(4) Launch Tailscaled in the background “`

sudo nohup ./tailscale_1.58.2_arm64/tailscaled &


(5) Log in to Tailscale

sudo ./tailscale_1.58.2_arm64/tailscale login


(6) Start Tailscale (without MagicDNS, since … the router controls `/etc/resolv.conf` or something)

sudo ./tailscale_1.58.2_arm64/tailscale up –operator=shrek –accept-dns=false


Note: "shrek" should be changed to your router's username!
